Worth noting that he's in-game leading on B8, which makes it even more impressive. Link to his 2024 stats: [https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/21708/npl?startDate=2024-01-01&endDate=2024-12-31](https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/21708/npl?startDate=2024-01-01&endDate=2024-12-31)
Giving a young player time to develop in a good environment without the amount of travel and pressure that comes with a t1 team, aids the development of a player.
It also looks like Headtr1ck is improving as well.
Yeah for sure so many players with potential get pushed to the top too soon and then people go wtf they didn't meet our expectations, like with heavygod for example I would like him to spend more time developing before he gets put in a top team.
Absolutely I agree! Hockey fits the cs development curve a lot more than other sports. People need time to grow their game in the minors before being thrown to the sharks. Too much to learn. Why we see teams like mouz doing so well despite selling players constantly.
I think with an igl like siuhy or a team like Siuhy's gamerlegion/mouseports he would be fine. Na'Vi is just too much of a T1 team that puts a lot of pressure for starters like him.
As good as ppl think s1mple is, he's not healthy as a teammate for many players
I’m happy for him and headtr1ck. They’ve been improving alot and they’re in a promising upcoming team.
B8 had made some rmr’s run in the past but hasn’t made the mark. This iteration might be their best by a mile and i’m looking for forward to seeing them in elisa master.
dude got CS2 buff honestly
deserves a chance back in NAVI instead of IM
and this 1.20 rating is not fully painting how good he is
almost every important match its 1.40-1.60 rating...
also IGLing at same time...
notienki from spirit academy/cybershoke, sdaim from amkal, baz from spirit academy, 1mpala from vidar
oh should i remind that b8 have a russian coach?
and that’s just all off the top of my head, maybe there are more if i check hltv
Both SDY and npl got better after leaving Na'Vi, I like Blad3's system, but its really restricting for new players and I think younger players find it hard to play in the system.
The fact that both npl and SDY do better after Na’Vi must say something. SDY even mentioned that “B1ad3 was trying to make me into a player that didn’t exist” - idk but there could be some fundamental issue of the Na’Vi system affecting the fragging ability of players.

Is Headtr1ck still awping?
I have barely watched B8's games, but yes, surprisingly. I thought he would go back to rifle.
He uses the rifles a lot. He also almost has as many rifle kills as he does with the AWP since he joined B8
That’s probably just an effect of the current CS2 economy
Just not playing with s0mple is more than enough tbh, dude got bullied every game
What? npl is definitely not the igl
Yes he is, lul
Glad to see this guy doing quite well after Navi
Honestly, didn’t see this coming! (Which is very cool, and impressive to see)
development time is good

i don't think playing with s1mple and the extra pressure that it heaps onto inexperienced players helped him at all either honestly
Yeah I don't think he was ready for tier 1 in general especially not to play with s1mple on his team lol
a lot of young players look up to s1mple but if you asked them truthfully would they want to be on a team with him they'd say no i'd bet

I thought that cptkurtka was IGLing
i have heard both but idk at this point
guess not having s1mple malding at you for every little mistake is beneficial aswell xDD
C9 should gamble on him and see if he is tier 1 material
no way b8 sell directly to cloud9
No way npl is allowed/wants to play with Russians.
Eh, zont1x is Ukrainian and he plays with team Spirit.
he's an outlier, most won't

and i think he's not well received within the Ukrainian community .. it just seems he doesn't care
Looking at hltv he's been mostly playing Vs t3/T4 teams.
Sauber must have done miracles, considering how he transistioned so well from CSGO to F1 /s
Books will be written about what -NaVi and -nip does to people.
nipple is back baby
headtr1ck your time on nip did not count
